Hmm, I changed as groff doesn't use iconv if locale (at least LC_CTYPE) is
C or POSIX, so it will output char as is.
I've put new one at http://people.debian.org/~ukai/groff/
as groff 1.18.1-0.u1.
How about this?

In addition, I fix gxditview to display Japanese text, as jgroff did,
in this version.
